Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

why are you trying to do a split?
I'm not in charge, so I'm not quite sure the exact reasons. I suspect it's to get more music out while somewhat reducing the cost. We have enough new material for a split right now, not enough for a full album.

Serious? You've never heard of porridge? Oats and milk microwaved for a minute and drizzled in honey? No?
Porridge and oatmeal are the exact same thing?!

Goddamn, I could have been calling it porridge this whole time and pretending I was in a period piece.
 
Finally had some time this afternoon to jam with the F800 + 3620. What a great rig: loads of volume and low end. I scored a cheap Peavey badge to affix to the cab, so I'm fully branded. I plan to take it out for my 7/18 & 7/19 MDT shows; I'll be sharing with two other bassists so I'll have plenty of muscle to get the beast loaded in and out. :thumbsup:

I know im a ho, deal with it.
 
Sorry. We're still Commonwealth-as-**** in too many respects.

I know I know... I figured porridge was like cream of wheat but instead of a smiling black man, there's a crying white child on the box.

I saw that coming.
Texicans, no matter how much they act different are just like the rest of us southerners.

Similar but better! :thumbsup: But I mean we're number one in the nation so it's expected...

Idk how the rest of you accept living elsewhere. Save Colorado and Arizona, they are pretty enough to be ok.
 
Which ones is it missing? For me, the filter knob just provided a different way to screw up the tone. The other controls were good to have, though (being able to go between a scooped, traditional fuzz sound, and a flat midrange fuzz sound was cool, though I think a switch might accomplish that well enough, for me, and being able to control the compression of the fuzz was cool,

From memory, it just has volume, sustain, tone and a clean blend, so maybe doesn't have the customisation you'd need.

Don't be a ho that's the kickstarter of dirty... Be a slut, then your free.

I dislike heat, intensely.

That's how.

In 7th grade I went to LA and then did the big sur to San Francisco then stayed in a hotel on the edge of the shore for a week I think in Monterey. Was hot everywhere there, I sweateded.

Pretty bummed after our last practice. First, guitarist had some issues with his Pickle and I had to borrow him my overdrive which pretty much changed all my plans regarding my tone that night. Then, it turned out that drummer forgot how he played the new track last week even though I make a point of recording new tracks at the end of every practice and sending the recordings to everyone afterwards. We all played kinda sloppy all night long, so I guess it was one of THOSE days...
I know we're still pretty much toddlers if it comes to playing together, but it was frustrating nevertheless.
Well, at least our band's name is pretty accurate to what we do: Cult of SNAFU :D

On the other hand, Church Of Misery, Conan and SUMA are playing on a local festival in two weeks, so at least that's good.
 
What do Micro POG and the Superego do?

Micro POG is an up and down digital octave pedal. It tracks amazingly well but it is very clean. I actually like it but my cab can't do the low octave justice.

The Superego is hard to explain. It is kind of like the Freeze pedal where it can hold a single note indefinitely but it has a couple other modes. There are Youtube vids about it. Really just something you need to hear. I wish my guitarist wanted it because I think it sounds amazing on guitar. It could also work well on bass but not for my band and i need the money.

We're doing a vinyl split, and it's being facilitated by a label with a band that I didn't previously know personally, but had one of their albums.

Not too hard to do one yourself if you want, just have to find another band. The upsides of doing a split are that the costs are reduced, you have buyers from two different fan bases, and if the split is the first time someone is hearing your band, they're more likely to listen to 3-4 songs by a new band than a whole full length.
